Crippled Avengers

Dao Tian-du (Chen Kuan-tai), styled the Black Tiger, is renowned for his skill in tiger-style kung fu but has also accrued a rather poor reputation for his tyranny and cruelty to the extent the local populace are terrified to speak out against him.

When he is absent one day, his estate is attacked by members of an enemy clan, the Tian Nan Tiger sect, who take out their hatred on his wife and young son, Dao Chang.

Years later, he kidnaps the sons of the Tian Nan Tiger fighters, promising their freedom if they can best the now adult Chang (Lu Feng) in a fight.

This is witnessed by the local blacksmith, Wei Jia-jie (Lo Mang), who is unafraid to speak out against Tian-du's behavior and is praised by a travelling salesman, Chen Shuen (Philip Kwok), watching nearby.

When a young man named Hu Ah-kue (Sun Chien) accidentally bumps into Chang, Tian-du has his men cut off his legs as punishment.

However, he is ultimately captured and tortured by Wan and when he returns to the smithy, Wei, Chen, and Hu find he has been reduced to a giggly, child-like state.
